Ideation

Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What inspired you? (Please include images or links to sources of inspiration)

This week my assignment idea is Fish wire holder with Laser cut , and crocodile clips with 3D printing

I like animals so I decided to make The Fish for my hand free

And for the 3D printing I chose crocodile clips

Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?

software :laser work

material : plywood

machine :morn laser cutter

software: cura

material PLA

machine :prusa i3 for 3Dprinting

Design/Preparation Process

Explain the design and/or preparation process of your assignment. How did you use the tool or software to design and/or prepare your assignment before fabrication/implementation?

First i download STL file from THINGIVERSE

Crocz... Crocodile Clips / Clamps / Pegs with Moving Jaws by muzz64 - Thingiverse

I used Ultimate Cura software to check profile ,infill and slice

I used profile 0.1 infill 20% / slice 1H24m

I used supports also

Finally I check everything before I do the process on the machine

download DXF file from 3axis website

Laser Cut Plexiglass Pocket Headphone Holder Fish Cord Organizer DXF File Free Download - 3axis.co

I used Laser work software to prepare my Fish

My design was so simple I just focus about 30speed and 65 power to cut to cut my model

Development/Implementation Process

Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?

I open laser work program and then import my file then check size , I prepared it for fabrication with speed 30 and power 65

I went to the Lap by applying a time slot and then put my RLD file to proceed the process of the machine

Finally I ordered it to cut my design

In the same day , I already prepare the STL file on ultimate cura software to check profile , infill 20% / slice 1H, 24m

I decided to put supports m took a copy of the file to the memory card of the machine then open the machine to heat after that select my file and OK

After finishing the process I collect the crocodile body with the thin base

Finally I did it

this is the final project image and video *

Overcoming Challenges

What kinds of challenges or problems did you face while doing the assignment, tutorials, or exercises? How did you solve them? Did you ask for help from an instructor or peer? Please provide a link to the tutorial or article that you used to solve your problem (if any)

the specialist helped me because it was the first time fabricated things alone

we bring the SD card and send the STL file to it , We put it in the machine and then we chose the file than adjust the filament and chose the color red one , then we wait for it to print

-in laser cutter the specialist helped me to put the wood in the machine , and adjust the setting and the origin and and click run ..

Final Project

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?

Knowing how to operate the machines on my own and trying it successfully will definitely help me with my final project. Understanding the parameters of each machine and becoming familiar with the softwares used will fasten the process of the final project. Along with learning about the machines and the softwares comes errors and mishaps which will help me avoid them in the future and build on the mistakes when proceeding in the final project.

WOW!

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

Three-dimensional printing for the first time, I was using the lazer cutter At the university, but this is the first time I've seen how design works and how to get it into the machine.

3D printing challenge

Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]

Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.
